Rob GlaserRealNetworks CEO Answers Questions on New RealPlayerAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on June 19, 2007 - 2:54pm.
Seattle - RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser on Tuesday posted responses on the company's blog to questions posed by PaidContent.org's Rafat Ali, about the upcoming RealPlayer upgrade that will allow for downloading of most any streaming Web video. During the exchange, Glaser addresses copyright issues posed by the ability of the application to record any streaming video. "The new RealPlayer is just like a VCR, a DVR, or a photocopier: It knows nothing about whether or not a piece of content is copyrighted. Like these earlier video players, the new RealPlayer facilitates many legal and appropriate uses, for instance downloading public domain content and content for which the owner has given permission."

San Francisco - CNET News.com on Wednesday published an interview with RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser, who comments on the company's settlement of a $1 billion antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft and new partnership with its former rival on digital music and video games. "We haven't done something that guarantees we'll be partners 10 years from now," said Glaser. "I'm sort of a crawl-walk-run guy, and we went from a relationship where we were somewhere between walking and running in opposite directions, to where we're walking -- and maybe in some cases even walking briskly -- together in the same direction." On their digital music collaboration, which still puts Real and Microsoft behind market leader Apple, Glaser remarked, "I think it's fair to say that the iPod is still the best product. I think we and Microsoft have an incentive to work with the hardware community to create better solutions than have been created thus far, and I think we'll do it, but I think that is something that plays out over time."
